The Chelsea 282 Series PTO Assembly, part number 282XDAJP-P3XD or 282XDAJPP3XD, is a medium-duty hot-shift power take-off built for demanding continuous-duty cycles. It mounts via an 8-bolt pattern and accepts pneumatic or PowerShift (pneumatic/hydraulic) actuation, giving fleets flexibility in shift-system integration. The 1-1/4" round output shaft uses a 5/16" key drive. Continuous torque capability reaches 300 lb-ft (407 Nm); intermittent torque is rated 201-300 lb-ft (401-500 Nm). Shaft power output is 29 HP at 500 RPM and 57 HP at 1,000 RPM. Compatible transmission manufacturers include Allison, Volvo/Mack, Eaton/Fuller, and others. Applications span aerial equipment, construction, towing and recovery, water trucks, and fuel oil delivery. Call us to confirm proper fit for your transmission and application.

The 282 Series is suited for aerial equipment, construction machinery, towing and recovery, water trucks, and home fuel oil delivery trucks. The series offers 9 speed ratios and 18 shift options. Direct-mount configurations support the optional wet-spline lubrication system for extended PTO and pump shaft service life. Driveshaft output configurations include a positive stop to protect seals from yoke over-insertion. The Smart Start option assists with high-torque engagement. Rotatable flanges allow output orientation to suit the installation. The 282 Series supersedes and incorporates the best elements of the earlier Chelsea 238 Series design.
